The biggest insight I could give you without knowing your specific situation
would be this:
If you will be using MS VC++ always and forever and will not be
using/creating programs for any other platforms then use the VC++ add-in.
If you're going to be creating programs or even libraries for other systems
like Linux/Unix or Mac or whatever, then I would suggest using the ANSI C++
add-in.
(But then if you were going to be writing for many different OS's maybe Java
would do)
Not that you couldn't/shouldn't use VC++ to create libraries for other than
Windows systems, the compiler isn't as close to standard as some others may
be (although I understand VC7/VC.NET will be).
The benefit I see from ANSI C++ is the model/code can be "easily" (I know,
that's a relative term) transferred between Windows and other systems. For
instance, some create there architecture on Windows and then generate the
code and transfer the files to a Linux/Unix machine where they compile and
link for the final product.
Just my $.02,

:> - MS Visual C++
:>

:>
:> I feel that it would be beneficial to standardize the C++

:> however it is difficult to decide and to convince anyone that it is
:> better than the other.
:>
:> Any insight on this issue is greatly appreciated.
